Trip to Scandinavia

Trip to Scandinavia.

This summer I traveled a lot. I was in St.Peterburg twice, in Moskow several times. I was in Pereslavl, in Kirgizia, Volgograd, and in Scandinavia.
The route was: St.Peterburg – Helsinki – Stokholm by ferry – Kobenhavn by bus and ferry and back.
There was for of us: me, my grlfriend Olya and one more couple: Lena from St.Peterburg and Mike from York.
First we spent about a week in S.P.

So, our trip began with Finland and its capital Helsinki.
It is rather small city, there is no any hightscrabbers, any hight buildings. |
There is no subway, just 4 or 5 stations. Bus the city is rather good, interesting.
People differ from russians. |There are lots of “Vikings” – people with big beards, mustaches, braids.

A ferry. It is a large building on water. There are restorants, shops, disco, cabins. Lots of cars, trucks, buses get into holds. It gives greate impression to everyone.
Our ferry sails thought Baltic sea. It is tremendious, there are plenty of ilands, small and tiny.
It is popular to buy a small iland, construct a house on it and sail on a boat to relax. Like dacha in russia.

Stokholm.
In stokholm very fascinating architecture. It is like in fary tales of Astred Lingred. You see it and you fall to little dream.
Stokholm is build on several ilands, it is said “north Vinice”. There is lots of bridges, quays, city is very green.
Vasa. This is the greate flagship of sixteenth century. It was made and sank down right away. I was impressed by it very much, it is greate.
Astred Lingred.
Subway. The most unusual, most inimitable in its beauty and most empty subway in the world.
